That is a question that you hear from the local townsfolk of the village your truck broke down at. Apparently, something big happened at the small time gas station, but no one can tell you what. You don’t believe in ghosts, however, so you decide to investigate, as there is no one to stop you. You arrive at the station, ironically segregated from the rest of the village, to see the lights on, but no one there. You go to travel inside, but a man that was jogging nearby warns you that all is not what it seems. He was a decent looking guy, and he looked familiar. He continues jogging, and you continue your investigation. The door slides open as you arrive, which is odd because it isn’t a sliding door. The area is a bit foggy, with a tint of green - almost like how dry ice sits on the floor. Everything seems alright, nothing is rusty or mouldy or broken. It looks like it is in perfect condition. But why is it abandoned then? You haven’t seen a ghost. But if there is one, what kind of ghost is it? You look at the fridges in the back, and notice a column of sports drinks missing. Judging by the label, it is the same one you saw the jogger with. You jump as the building creaks with the wind, but you have an odd chill go down your spine, almost like you are being watched.
You go to enter the back, and to your surprise, it is unlocked. It looks like a lunch room, and someone seems to have been here not long ago, as there is food on the table, still warm. The chair is pulled out and the green mist seems to congregate at it. It looks like you can see a silouhette being formed sitting in the chair. Behind it, a cupboard is open, and inside is a barrel, slightly open. The warning signs on the side read “Caution - Experimental product: B-S10”. You decide to close the barrel properly, and pretend it is a highly valuable asset for fun while doing so, saying things like “approaching the target” etc etc. When you go to turn back around, the food is gone and the chair is under the table properly. Odd… very odd. You go to leave the building, and notice that what remains of the green mist is exiting through the front door. You go to leave, picking up a snack as you walk through an aisle. As you exit, you see the jogger again, staring at you. He waves and smiles as he fades away.
What sort of ghost would haunt a gas station? Well, let me tell you - a jogger
As you return to the village, you find what made the jogger so familiar. There is a statue of him with a plaque that reads — 1964 - 1997 May the light guide you as you guided us
